Led by industry professionals, the seminar will provide valuable insight on the emerging trends within the synthetic grass industry as it pertains to landscape recreation. Invitees for this event include: landscape architects, parks and recreations officials, Florida Friendly Landscaping program, hotels and theme park companies, and STC members. Registered attendees are also invited to attend an Exhibitor Showcase that will immediately follow the seminar from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This is an added value for decision makers, buyers and specifiers to be able to meet with STC vendors and learn more about products and services within the synthetic turf industry.
